I en søvnig Florida-forstad ligger et alderdomshjem, hvor de farverige beboere døjer med helbredet, mens de forsøger at få tiden til at gå i deres monotone tilværelse. Alt det forandres med et slag, da nogle af de gamle drenge sniger sig ind på naboejendommen. Den er godt nok lejet ud til nogle fremmede, men der er ingen i syne og den store pool frister til et forfriskende bad... Meget forfriskende endda, for på bunden af poolen befinder sig et antal store, fremmet udseende kokoner, der ikke er af denne verden. Virkningen på de aldrende herrer lige er umiddelbar, som utrolig. De er med ét svømmetag som 30 år yngre igen og deres mildest talt forandrede udseende og holdning undgår selvfølgelig ikke de andre beboeres opmærksomhed. Men der er også ved at ske noget fantastisk, som ingen nogensinde havde regnet med...

Crescent Bay er måske ikke det bedste sted at tilbringe sit otium. Engang var det et idyllisk og fredsommeligt område bestående af ældreboliger, hvor samfundets pensionister kunne tilbringe de sidste gyldne år, men på det seneste er beboerne i Crescent Bay blevet udsat for mystiske og dødelige overfald. Da den bitre og blinde krigsveteran Ambrose McKinley (Nick Damici) flytter ind, bliver de andre beboere chokerede over hans menneskefjendske adfærd og sure opstød, men da de voldsomme angreb viser sig at være forårsaget af noget langt mere gruopvækkende end den bjørn, som politiet mener står bag, er Ambroses attitude præcis, hvad der er brug for. For ingen, eller noget, skal true en højtdekoreret krigsveteran – heller ikke selvom han er blind…

Coming of Age 1988

Coming of Age is a situation comedy that aired briefly on the CBS television network in the United States for three runs in 1988 and 1989. Coming of Age features Paul Dooley and Phyllis Newman as a couple, Dick and Ginny Hale, living in a fictional retirement community, The Dunes, in Arizona. Retirement had not really been their, or at least, Dick's, idea – a former airline pilot, he had been forced to retire by a Federal Aviation Administration rule which requires all U.S. commercial pilots to retire by age 60. Dick hated almost everything about his retirement, including his surroundings. He was appalled by the hot climate, the thin walls separating the Hale's apartment from those of their neighbors Alan Young and Glynis Johns and, apparently, mostly by the contented attitude that most of the other residents expressed. This program was first aired as a midseason replacement in March 1988; although in was apparently not well received and was pulled after only three episodes were aired, it was nonetheless added to the CBS 1988 fall lineup. There, it failed again, and was quickly pulled. The airing of some more episodes in June and July 1989 was apparently a "run-off", an attempt to recoup at least some of the investment in the show by using it as filler during the traditionally low-rated summer months.
